      I’ve asked ChatGPT to explain maths to me before. I can’t remember what it was but it was something when I knew the answer and was trying to calculate the starting value.

      It told me the answer and I asked for the explanation. It went something like this (not actual, just a tribute):

      • Step 1: 1 + 1 = 2
      • Step 2: 2 * 2 = 4
      • Step 3: 4 / 8 = 0.5

      Me: Uh, the answer is supposed to be 9,000,000.

      ChatGPT: Sorry, it seems you are right. Here’s the corrected version:

      • Step 1: 1 + 1 = 2
      • Step 2: 2 * 2 = 4
      • Step 3: 4 / 8 = 9,000,000

        Sometimes GPT says it’s using the correct values, but somehow gets the wrong answer regardless. Also the opposite happens frequently, and that’s when I realized I was pushing it too hard.

        Don’t ask it to calculate the ratio between the surface areas of the Moon and Earth. Instead, ask what are the relevant radiuses are and calculate everything yourself.

      ChatGPT ain’t good at moth from what I keep hearing.

      For quick short hand for X generations it’s been in the family: 30 years per generation is a good short hand.

      For example: 1 generation is me (30), 2 generations is my dad(60), 3 generations is grandpa(90), 4 generations is great-grandpa(120), etc.

          Lol

          Honestly my family’s generations are much closer than my example, it’s just round numbers in my example for simple math

          Mine are closer to 20 and past the last 2, the lower side of 20. And one generation awhile back was… Too close by a good margin of you catch my meaning.

          Great great grandpa was an odd duck when I met him but he was a hoot
